I could try to post in Adventure,Off-Road, Trails, since I did see a blue TW today, and I do want to ride there again, and Adam and I rode near
there July 4th but I shall post here to add visuals to today's Off Topics.
Location: Upper Stanislaus off HWY4, Alpine Co. California.
Why? Almost full moon makes for sublime night paddling and wandering the granite slick rock region. Patches of glacial polished rock abound, smooth like granite countertop. Large erratics (rounded boulders transported by glaciers and then left by the retreating ice) dot the soothed surfaces adding visual relief. Wildflowers abound as it is still spring @ 8,000 ft. Crystal clear lakes are full, crisp clean streams flow from trout pool to pool. Very tranquil and scenic. Many excellent campsites are now only accessible by bike or foot so a TW-based camp trip seems ideal.

I'd like to help with your photo size issued, but use different equipment/method than you do. What I do is download photo's from camera/SD card to my PC. I edit/resize the photo in microsoft office picture manager. I then upload to picasaweb, then copy/paste into my posts. I don't like to upload directly from my computer if I don't have too. It makes my picture's small like yours. However, I just click on your photo's and that makes them larger to see.

B-dub, thank you for the excellant tutorial on getting larger image size posts so you folks do not need to "click" to enlarge. Very concise explanation and instructions. Many thanks as I am all thumbs when I get in front of computer. -Fred

The area around Utica is so scenic that a pretty picture is almost unavoidable, just point camera anywhere. The moderately open terrain allows one to wander around independent of roads or trails to find interesting examples of natural beauty. I never saw quite the variety and numbers of wildflowers there before. Interesting succulents resistant to winter freezing abound, looks like the coastal ice-plants of my youth. At only 7,500 ft the Bristlecone Pines look so robust and healthy compared to their more famous gnarly tortured 10,000 ft. cousins. The glacial features fascinate me too.

Corona Virus (Take Two)
The last thread disintegrated into a “My political party is better than your political party, and I have the links to prove it”, yet the virus is still here, and the reaction to it is just as worrying as the virus itself.
Here in the UK, the general public seems to be...

I just found out I'm being furloughed at the end of this month. The upshot is I'll have more time to ride until the end of July. Anyone in the Athens Tennessee area want to get together? I'll be up there the second week of June. J.B. you in?

Now that I'm retired I finally have time to do the things I love and the things I have been wanting to do. One of those things I have been wanting to do is follow the pros. I've been watching a little on TV and am looking to befriend someone else who follows it. (I'll probably have a ton of...
